I was excited to see that Jabra had come out with a hads-free device that used a boom microphone, but was disapointed almost instantly. The range of adjustments it provides is encouraging, but I could never get it to fit just right. It was never tight enough on the ear, to keep out the road noise and annoying in the way it kept the mic resting against my cheek, adding noise to the conversation. When I would adjust it one way it would throw it out of adjustment another way, because of the design Get the Jabra hands free adapter that is entirely in the ear, you won't be sorry.

Having purchased the Earwrap three weeks ago, I was extremely happy with it, especially the clarity of the calls and the noise cancelling technology. The earwrap clip that wraps around your ear, however, would appear to be a chronic problem with this model. Mine broke in half just today. I talked with a friend who purchased the same model and all of his clips have broken on him as well within a few months of purchase, and the unit comes with three. Hopefully they will improve the material used in the clip because, that aside, it's a great handsfree unit...But that doesn't do much good when it ends up in your lap because the clip broke...

I lost my generic earbud headset and bought the Jabra EarWrap as a replacement, with high hopes. The unit appears to blend form and function, offering the convenience of a compact hands-free headset with a boom mike for increased outbound audio quality.

The reality of the headset was very disappointing. I was unable to secure the headset to my ear in a way that prevented it from flopping around my face with the slightest head movement. I eventually achieved almost satisfactory results by giving the flexible ear attachment hook a good squeeze (it's pliable) each time I put on the headset. This worked until the attachment hook snapped near its base. I returned the headset to my local retailer who reported that the broken ear hook was a recurring problem with this headset design.

I have the Jabra EarBud (in the ear mic/speaker) model and was happy at first. Now, after 3 months of owning it, I only "like" it at best. It's a marvel how well this unit works in such a compact design, but the earbud does get slightly uncomfortable for extended wear. Switching to a smaller bud was more comfortable, but had a habit of falling out.

Pleased with Jabra's superior technology, I opted for the EarWrap, hoping it would provide the same quality in a more comfortable design. Yes, problem solved! The Jabra Earwrap was easy to adjust and very comfortable for extended use. I found the reception and microphone of equal quality to the EarBud model.

If you use the EarBud and it works for you, Great! Keep it. But if you want a fool-proof easy to adjust handsfree device, I highly recommend this one.

I found this phone to be comfortable and the sound quality is great. The enormous defect of this phone is the earhook. I can get it to conform well to my ear and it doesn't move. However, both earhooks broke very easily after about 4 months total.

Now I have a great earphone which isn't hands free, and thus useless.

I can't get it to stay on my ear. No matter how hard I try to get it to stay, it just won't. The sound seems OK if you hold it on your ear, but what good is it if it isn't hands free.
I plan to send it back.

This earwrap [stinks].. the only good thing about it is that it can stay in your ear if you get the right position and that it looks nice, that about it. i just got around to use it and when i did the other end was like "is there a fly in your room?" theres is this buzzing sound that is so annoying to listen to and both ends can hear it. im going out and getting myself another kind/brand..

This is the most uncomfortable earset I've ever used. I couldn't get it to stay on, and when it did, it hurt. I could barely hear anything. I'm going right back to my Jabra EarBud.
